地域農業의 巨視的 構造分析

A method for measuring change in the structure of regional agriculture : Jeonbug province, 1958―1973

1. Objectives of this study. The rapid growth of the Korean economy in 1960s has accelated the pace of urbanization and industrialization. However, its influences have caused not only the widening disparities between rural and urban area as “Between problem” but also the impressive changes of agricultural structure as “Within problem.” Therefore, this study intended to analyze how the agricultural structure of Jeonbug province has been changed from 1958 to 1973 and to provide the theoritical basis and its implication for regional development planning. 2. Methods employed. To show the changes of agriculture, crude index of diversification, refind index of diversification and location quotient, based on the component ratio of farm household numbers classified by farm management in Jeonbug province, were calculated by both the time series and the cross section data analysis. All of the data which were relevant to this study were derived from the statistical year book of Jeonbug province from 1959 to 1974. 3. Results of the analysis and conclusion. (1) During the sixteen years, 1958-1973, the two distinctive features in the changes of component ratio of farm houshold numbers classified by the farm management in Jeonbug province are apparently observable. The component ratio of paddy field household showed a substantial decline, while the others showed an upward trend. (2) The numbers of paddy field household have been declining since 1968 not only in the component terms but also in the alsolute, while the most remarkable increase occurred in special crops, sericulture and other sectors. (3) In the viewpoint of individual farm management, this indicates that more emphasis is being shifted from the specialization of paddy field to that of other sectors (4) In the regional base, the refined indexes of diversification of the vicinity of city and the plain area are lower than those of the alpine area. This indicates the component ratios of the former area are more diversed. (5) Considering the relation between the index of diversification and location quotient, the lower the index, the lower the location quotient of paddy field and the higher that of other sectors. (6) It does seem clear that the technical possibility in the changes of agricultural structure can be achieved in the technical progress of farm production and the enlarging farm management size, while the realistic adoptability can be in the commericalization of farm household and in the intensified regional development planning. (7) According to the changing of agricultural structure, vertical diversification should be oriented to promote the marketing efficiency in rural area. (8) The regional development planning diversed and detailed should be fully examined to satisfy the changes in agricultural structure.
